Forgotten Poem


This is a poem I recently found while going through papers and notebooks I had finally unpacked after weeks of the box sitting in the middle of the room. I believe I wrote it on a plane ride home a couple years back.


Rising above

Feeling below

Accomplishing much

Nothing to show

Trying to run

Stuck to the ground

Screaming aloud

Not making a sound

Known my many

Remembered by none

Holding together

Yet coming undone

Burning alive

But cold as stone

Surrounded by others

Completely alone


Could use some tweaking I think but not bad.


Well, this night owl should be off to bed. Choi.

Ah, Katie, those were my emotions exactly for years, however I lack the poetic ability to express myself in that manner. So I totally relate. I always knew you were a talented writer, I never knew you were also such a talented poet. Excellent job, it flows well and the rhyming is on-key.
